Transfer Venice to Trieste Cruise Terminal: Private Mercedes

Arrive at your Trieste cruise ship doorstep in comfort, no car rental needed.

A private transfer takes you from Venice Marco Polo Airport or the Venice car terminal (Piazzale Roma) to Trieste cruise terminal in a premium Mercedes, with an English-speaking driver and bottled water included. The journey takes about two hours and ends at your ship's entrance. You can choose between a water taxi to Venice plus van transfer, or a direct road transfer from the city center. One piece of luggage travels free. Additional bags cost €20 each, paid to the driver.

The experience

The transfer picks you up at either Venice Marco Polo Airport or Piazzale Roma (the Venice car terminal) and takes roughly two hours to reach Trieste cruise terminal. You're dropped directly at the cruise ship entrance, so there's no walking through a port or figuring out where to go once you arrive. The vehicle is a Mercedes, air-conditioned, and the driver speaks English. Bottled water is included for the ride.

You have two options at checkout. The water taxi and van combination starts with a boat ride through Venice's canals to Piazzale Roma, then transfers by van to Trieste: useful if you're flying into Marco Polo and want to see the city on the way. The road transfer goes directly from Piazzale Roma or the airport by van, cutting the journey time. Either way, the driver handles the route and you arrive at the terminal ready to board.

One suitcase per person travels free. Any additional luggage costs €20 per bag, paid in cash or card to the driver. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with a baby, and the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Service animals are welcome on board.
